From the recording Second Chances
Lyrics
Teenage girl had to grow up fast
Sleep’n in her car, with her son on her lap
Yeah she was out of answers
But now her son is lean’n on that old green Ford
Take’n a selfie in his tassel board
While tears fall from mamas glasses
They’re moving on, with second chances
Desperate Father and a string of mistakes
Reach’n out before it’s too late
And looses all the things that matter
Now he’s knock’n on that same screen door
The one he walked out years before
His heart beating through his jacket
He’s hold’n on, with second chances
Ain’t it a shame
Ain’t it a mess
The weight we carry on our shoulders
You live long enough
One things clear
You better believe we’ll need second chances
Some of us keep searching for the answers
Trying to recover from our past
And others are search’n for redemption
Haunted by the pain
That we can never take back
Mississippi prison in the heat of the night
Life and death on the edge of a knife
It’s hard to find forgiveness
In that prison chapel hangs a naked man
Message of love with nails in his hand
There’s hope in the darkest places
Thank God He believes, in second chances
Ain’t it a shame
Ain’t it a mess
The weight we carry on our shoulders
You live long enough
One things clear
You better believe we’ll need second chances
